10.7 (formerly 149) Certificate

A 10.7 (formerly 149) Certificate is a planning certificate under Section 10.7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Planning certificates give information on the development potential of a parcel of land including the planning restrictions that apply to the land on the date the certificate is issued. There are two types of 10.7 Planning Certificates, 10.7(2) and 10.7(5).

What is the difference between a 10.7(2) Certificate and a 10.7(5) Certificate?

A 10.7(2) Certificate provides you with information such as the zone, whether the land is affected by any Draft Local Environmental Plans and Development Control Plans, whether the land is affected by Mines Subsidence and Restrictions on development due to natural hazards such as landslip, flooding or bush fire. A 10.7 (2&5) Certificate provides you with all of the above information plus additional information such as unhealthy building land and other matters which includes any other information Council feels is relevant to the land.
